"Jacob, why do you have my painting here?" she asked, pointing at the portrait.

"It's not your painting, Katara," Jacob said, his voice low and hesitant. "It's a portrait of my late wife, Emily."

Katara felt a pang of guilt for assuming the painting was of her. She had never met Jacob's wife but knew that she had passed away before they had met. "I'm sorry, Jacob. I didn't mean to assume."

"It's alright, Katara," Jacob said, his voice gentle. "I should have told you about it before. I keep it here to remind me of her."

Katara nodded, understanding the sentiment. "She was beautiful," she said, admiring the painting.

"Yes, she was," Jacob said, his eyes drifting to the painting. "But you are beautiful too, Katara."

Katara blushed, feeling a warmth spread through her body. She had always found Jacob attractive, but she had kept her feelings in check. She was carrying Sean's child, after all, and she didn't want to complicate things.

But as she looked at Jacob, she couldn't deny the attra

    Jacob hesitated for a moment before speaking. "I couldn't help but notice your blood type," he said. "It's the same as my late wife's."Katara felt a chill run down her spine. She had heard rumors about Jacob's wife and child dying in a tragic accident, but she had never known the details."I'm sorry for your loss," she said softly.Jacob shook his head. "That's just it. I was told that both my wife and child didn't survive. But when I saw your blood type, I couldn't help but wonder..."Katara's heart skipped a beat. "What are you saying?"Jacob took a deep breath. "I'm saying that there's a chance, however small, that the child you just gave birth to is my daughter."Katara felt like the world was spinning around her. She had just given birth to a beautiful baby girl, and now Jacob was telling her that he might be the father.

"I don't know what to say. How could you do this to me?"Katara felt like her world was collapsing around her. She had never seen her husband look so hurt and angry before."I know it's a lot to take in," Jacob said, stepping forward. "But we need to talk about what we're going to do now. We all have a responsibility to this little girl."Katara's husband looked at Jacob with suspicion. "Who are you? And why are you involved in this?"Jacob took a deep breath. "My name is Jacob.
